I am in favor of a post-Unicron universe, not a total reboot where the story regresses back to the 'beginning' whatever that may be. I am also in favor of new leaders, but ones we already know of. I would love to see Overlord become the supreme leader of the Decepticons, though I don't know if the Autobots would have a single leader or rule by committee.
No matter what, I want to see new worlds and characters be introduced. Earth and even Cybertron are getting old.

I mean, it was a good story and I would like it re-told, in even greater detail. I loved the designs and aesthetics of the characters and the settings. And of course, no Earth and no humans!

I haven't read enough of Dreamwave to comment on that yet. Now The -Ations showed us the wider war. The war of the "Robots in Disguise". How they infiltrate and assimilate into other cultures. But that is Later.
We were shown the Fuse that ignited the War (Megatron: Origin) and the last battle before the exodus (Stormbringer, flashbacks). Yet as ZeroWolf says, the rest of it in between has always been far too clean. It's supposed to be a global civil war that has spanned millions of years. A Civil war with that timescale wouldn't be pretty or clean.
What we've been shown up until now is skirmishes, sorties etc IE Simplified warfare. But nothing shown in any medium I've seen so far would be considered "A Great War". To actually show that, would be a very different Transformers. People would know this isn't what came before and that is how it could really shine on it's own.
I think I would be more interested. As much as I'm ready to get past the garbage Roberts has been churning out, the break would let me completely get the current continuity out of my system and it wouldn't feel like I'm being saturated with too much, nor will it cause any confusion regarding what's new and what's still from the old story. So I'm all for a break between the current story and the reboot. Maybe 3 months, not 6.ScottyP wrote:So a thought I had earlier: what if there are no TF comics for six months to a year before any new series launch? Would that make you more interested or more disconnected? That's hard to answer generally, I know, but had been thinking about how that would make me feel and wondered what others might think about it.
This is what just happened, with the part where they cut the losses happening right now.ZeroWolf wrote:I do want them to take the time they need to fully map out everything (for all properties in the hasbroverse) for at least two years. If they want a proper combined universe like the big boys then they need to go all in. If it doesn't work after thus approach best to just cut the losses and deconnenct them (or at least the one's that don't fit organically, rom works with tf quite well)
